Nice job cherry picking Somalia Mr. renter guy, I wouldn’t have expected anything less from the Pigg serial poster:) Your forgetting prosperous countries like South Korea, New Zealand, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Uraguay, Malaysia, and Australia (just to name a few), that have lower personal tax rates than the U.S. I especially like Hong Kong tax rates capped at 15% no matter what a persons income is.
A high income earner in America can pay $100k+ over their career into Medicare yet they will never use it. Where the low income guy who will use Medicare most likely paid a paltry sum into it. That is amazing. Liberals should at least go out and shake the hand of those “evil” high income earners once a day, b/c those are the people going out every day to bust their butt to pay all the bills in this country.
Those Americans wanting and receiving a free lunch currently outnumber those that don’t, that showed clearly in our recent elections. And the solution to keep paying for that free lunch is to suffocate our precious few high achievers in our society with massive taxes to pay for it all (Prop 30).
That leads me to a great quote from Margaret Thatcher: “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.”
…something Greece and Spain are finding painfully true.
